The Garrison Restaurant and Bar

What The Garrison Restaurant and Bar does

The Garrison Restaurant and Bar operates a single full-service American restaurant and bar at 220 Beach Rd in Lake George, New York, staffed by approximately 51 employees. The venue is open seven days a week from 11:30am to 11:00pm and offers a cabin-styled interior and a waterfront patio overlooking Lake George. The menu spans appetizers ($10.50-$18.75), burgers ($13.50-$25.00), sandwiches and wraps ($13.50-$18.75), salads, soups, kids' items ($7.50), and house specialties including filet sliders, chicken parmesan, fish & chips, and mac & cheese, complemented by a full bar of craft beers, wines, and spirits. The technology stack is limited to standard restaurant tooling: an informational website and SpotOn for online ordering of pickup and delivery; there is no proprietary technology, no disclosed patents, and no AI/ML capability.

Revenue is generated through three streams: dine-in service (primary), online ordering for pickup and delivery via SpotOn, and off-premise catering and private events for weddings, corporate functions, and celebrations, including use of the East Cove venue. Customer acquisition is driven by the waterfront location, weekly live music programming (Rich Ortiz on Wednesdays, Tim Ortiz on Saturdays, 6pm-9pm), and seasonal events such as the Octoberfest 2025 festival (September 20 - October 5), supported by social media visual content and a catering inquiry form on the website. The business is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no executive team, no funding history, no partnerships, no awards, and no certifications in the available data.

The competitive position rests on a scarce lakefront site, local brand recognition as a top Lake George dining option, and layered programming (live music, seasonal events, catering) that diversifies a fundamentally single-unit operating model. Key exposures are geographic concentration in Lake George, seasonality of the Adirondack tourism market, and dependence on a single physical location with no measured expansion pipeline.
